SOT Nawaz Sharif (in English) "Pakistan today successfully conducted five nuclear tests; The results were as expected. There was no release of radioactivity. I congratulate all scientists for dedicated team work and expertise in mastering complex and advanced technology. The entire nation takes pride in accomplishments of the Pakistan atomic commission. They have demonstrated Pakistan's ability to deter agression. Pakistan has been obliged to exercise the nuclear option due to India's nuclear program. This has led to the collapse of the deterrence and had radically altered the strategic balans in our region. Immediately after its nuclear test India has raised the demand that Islamabad should realise the change in the strategic situation in the region. And threaten that India would deal firmly and strongly with
Pakistan. Our security and peace and stability of the entire region was thus gravely threathened. As a selfrespecting nation we had no choice left to us. Our hand was forced by the present Indian leadership's reckless actions"
